General CommentIt's about that hard wake up call you get when you realise no one else is responsible for your feelings/mental stability/happiness except yourself; and the struggle that occurs when someone wants you to think they will shelter you when you know they can't

General CommentI agree with what Miss Mess has said about this song. Adding to that, I think one idea the song presents is the power of a woman. The lyrics explicitly say that she can make this person want/need her. How does she feel about that person? My interpretation is that this is someone she used to love and be in a relationship with, but has since realized he is not right for her. But she can make him think that everything his fine. Furthmore, he wants her to stay around when she doesn't. She says that the harder he tries to do this, the less efective it's going to be. She has already made up her mind and is ready stand on her own two feet. For a while she was content with being someone she wasn't, but has discovered she does not need to do that. Anyway, this is probably my favorite Esthero song. It's incredibly powerful and moving.
